This Peruvian organisation aims to create the first generation of female scientists in Peru who can change the world and close the gender gap in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.

Also given a special mention was WomEng, from South Africa, which is a multi-award winning social enterprise working since 2006 to develop girls in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and women engineering leaders.

STELR

The STELR Program is a hands-on, inquiry-based, in-curriculum program designed for secondary school students, on the theme of global warming and renewable energy. It is our aspiration that ultimately all Australian students, including students who live in remote areas, will have the opportunity to participate in the STELR program.
